Identifying asbestos in floor tiles or their adhesives requires professional assessment. You cannot determine its presence visually. Materials such as bitumen, thermoplastic, and vinyl floor tiles found in properties built before the year 2000 are common asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). The main danger arises when these tiles are drilled, cut, broken, or scraped, as this can release microscopic asbestos fibres into the air. Inhalation of these fibres can lead to serious respiratory diseases.

If you suspect asbestos in your flooring, it is crucial to avoid disturbing it. Instead, contact Asbestos In Homes. We provide swift and accurate asbestos testing services in Peterborough. Our trained surveyors will safely collect samples, which are then sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. This confirms the presence or absence of asbestos, enabling an informed decision on the next steps for property.

At Asbestos In Homes, we follow a stringent, multi-stage process to ensure the safe and compliant removal of asbestos floor tiles from property in Peterborough:

1. Initial Survey & Quote: We begin with a free, no-obligation consultation, assessing your needs and providing a clear, detailed quote for asbestos floor tile removal.
2. Sampling & UKAS Testing: If the presence of asbestos is unconfirmed, our experts will safely take samples for analysis at a UKAS-accredited laboratory, providing a formal certificate.
3. Careful Planning & Containment: Before any work begins, we meticulously plan the removal process, establishing controlled areas with appropriate containment measures to prevent fibre release into other parts of the property.
4. Meticulous Removal: Our highly trained team, equipped with specialised personal protective equipment (PPE) and respiratory protective equipment (RPE), carefully removes the asbestos-containing floor tiles and any associated adhesives. This is typically categorised as non-licensed work, but performed to the highest standards.
